If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Big Sur
Perched between towering redwoods and the Pacific's raw cliffs, hotels with a view in Big Sur turn every stay into a front-row seat for dramatic surf, golden sunsets, and misty mornings that linger just beyond your window. For the best experience, book an ocean- or cliff-facing room with a balcony or expansive windows, reserve well in advance, time your visit for sunrise or sunset, pack layers for coastal fog, and favor smaller, eco-conscious inns for quieter, more authentic coastal charm.
